<div id="ygrps-yiv-1912199076">apologies for the broken urls as usual<br/>
but on the other hand i figure everybody must know how to deal <br/>
with these by now too<br/>
<br/>
anyway a closer & clearer look at the topo showing the several <br/>
preexisting boundary disjunctions in the immediate quintiarea <br/>
can be had at<br/>

<br/>
& with benefit of this improved view i can now see how the twin <br/>
tripoints could actually prove to be much farther apart than the <br/>
previously estimated maximum of 40 feet<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
this comparison btw & all my other recent experiences with <br/>
topozone & terraserver convince me the latter is already far better <br/>
in many ways <br/>
including easier to use<br/>

&gt; reveals it is probably only a near miss & not a true hit<br/>
&gt; since the newly emergent broomfield county <br/>
&gt; in following the old corporate boundaries depicted on the topo<br/>
&gt; shows every sign of actually disconnecting from itself here<br/>
&gt; between a pair of very close but otherwise ordinary tripoints<br/>
&gt; probably no more than 40 feet apart <br/>
&gt; usco3bobrjee & usco3bobrjew<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; moreover<br/>
&gt; this hairline disconnection & the hairline connections that do <br/>
&gt; appear on the first map surrounding the clave of weld county at <br/>
&gt; upper right & the clave of boulder county at center<br/>
&gt; are evidently owing to the same peculiar cause<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; for one notices thruout the topos of this area <br/>
&gt; & built into many of the corporate limits<br/>
&gt; what appears to be a road allowance or right of way <br/>
&gt; in the form of a slight offset from many sectional boundaries<br/>
&gt; & even some subsectional boundaries<br/>
&gt; & which is often compounded into a corridor strip<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; so of course <br/>
&gt; on a smaller scale such corridors show up as hairlines <br/>
&gt; or as a nonexistent megapoint<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; but anyway dont think of it as losing a monster point<br/>
&gt; so much as gaining a totally virgin clave of broomfield county<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; not to mention confirming the 2 other claves named above that <br/>
&gt; had been hanging til now by these hitherto inexplicable <br/>
